This past May (2013) English Premier League team Manchester City came out to the good ol’ U.S. of A. to play a friendly match against Chelsea at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The people over at GoPro equipped the Mancunian side with a few HD HERO3® cameras to capture some of the action that went down during the team’s final training session in New Jersey. Players like goalie Joe Hart, midfielder Samir Nasri and former MCFC forward Carlos Tevez sported the cameras that took great shots of how the game is seen and played from their perspective. Needless to say, it’s pretty awesome.

This video was shot 100% on the HD HERO3® camera which you can find at http://GoPro.com. (I want!)

The MLS has announced the league’s 20th club: New York City Football Club (NYCFC). The founding of the team was three years laying the groundwork, as Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced on Tuesday that the new club is the product of a collaboration between English Premier League 2011/2012 Champions Manchester City FC and Major League Baseball’s legendary New York Yankees.

The new team will be named and is expected to begin play in 2015.

While it’s not exactly surprising, for those of us that follow the beautiful game, especially in the US’s league, this is important news for it’s a testament to the growth of the sport and what’s best is that New York proper, the capital of the world, will be home to the club. I’m no Man. City fan at all, but when my country’s soccer league shows (major) growth, it’s something worth being proud of.
